5 Scan You can scan originals and send them to a variety of destinations, such as a folder on the network or a program on a computer. You can use the control panel, the HP photo and imaging software, and TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant programs on a computer. This section contains the following topics: • Scan an original • Scan from a TWAIN-compliant or a WIA-compliant program • Edit a scanned original • Change scan settings • Cancel a scan job Scan an original You can start a scan from a computer or from the control panel. NOTE:You can also use the HP Photosmart Software to scan an image, including panorama images. Using this software, you can edit a scanned image and create special projects using a scanned image. For information about how to scan from the computer, and how to adjust, resize, rotate, crop, and sharpen your scans, see the onscreen HP Photosmart Software Help that came with your software. To use the scan features, your device and computer must be connected and turned on. The printer software must also be installed and running on your computer prior to scanning. To verify that the printer software is running on a computer running Windows, look for the device icon in the system tray at the lower-right side of the screen, near the clock. If a scanner is available, it will launch the HP ScanPro application. If it is not available, a message appears to let you know that a scanner was not found. NOTE:Closing the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon in your Windows system tray can cause your device to lose some of its scan functionality and result in the No Connection error message. If this happens, you can restore full functionality by restarting your computer or by starting the HP Photosmart Software. Scan an original to a program on a computer Use the following steps if your device is directly connected to a computer via a USB cable. When the scan is complete, the program that you have selected opens and displays the document that you have scanned. To send a scan to a program on a computer from the HP photo and imaging software 1.At the computer, open the HP photo and imaging software. For more information, see Use the HP photo and imaging software. 2.See the onscreen Help for further instructions. 38 Scan

For more information, see Load originals. 2.Press the Scan Menu or Scan To button. 3.Press the arrow keys to select the program that you want to use (such as the HP photo and imaging software), and then press OK. 4.Press START SCAN. Scan from a TWAIN-compliant or a WIA-compliant program The device is TWAIN-complaint and WIA-compliant and works with programs that support TWAIN-compliant and WIA-compliant scanning devices. While you are in a TWAIN- compliant or WIA-compliant program, you can gain access to the scanning feature and scan an image directly into the program. TWAIN is supported for all Windows operating systems. WIA is supported only for Windows XP and Vista direct connections. Scan from a TWAIN-compliant program Generally, a software program is TWAIN-compliant if it has a command such as Acquire, File Acquire, Scan, Import New Object, Insert from, or Scanner. If you are unsure whether the program is compliant or you do not know what the command is called, see the software program Help or documentation. Start the scan from within the TWAIN-compliant program. See the software program Help or documentation for information about the commands and steps to use. NOTE:If you start a TWAIN scan while a fax is being received, an error message will be displayed and the scan is not performed. Wait until the fax has been received and then restart the scan. Scan from a WIA-compliant program Generally, a software program is WIA-compliant if it has a command such as Picture/ From Scanner or Camera in the Insert or File menu. If you are unsure whether the program is compliant or you do not know what the command is called, see the software program Help or documentation. Start the scan from within the WIA-compliant program. See the software program Help or documentation for information about the commands and steps to use. Edit a scanned original You can edit a scanned image using the HP Photosmart Software. You can also edit a scanned document by using your Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software. Scan from a TWAIN-compliant or a WIA-compliant program 39
Edit a scanned photo or graphic You can edit a scanned photo or graphic using the HP Photosmart Software. Use this software to adjust the brightness, contrast, color saturation, and more. You can also rotate the image using the HP Photosmart Software. For more information, see the onscreen HP Photosmart Software Help. Edit a scanned document using optical character recognition (OCR) software You can use OCR software to import scanned text into your preferred word-processing program for editing. This allows you to edit faxes, letters, newspaper clippings, and many other documents. You can specify the word-processing program that you want to use for editing. If the word- processing icon is not present or active, either you do not have word-processing software installed on your computer, or the scanner software did not recognize the program during the installation. See the onscreen Help for the HP photo and imaging software for information about how to create a link to the word-processing program. The OCR software does not support scanning colored text. Colored text is always converted to black-and-white text before being sent to OCR. Thus, all text in the final document is in black and white, regardless of the original color. Because of the complexity of some word-processing programs and their interaction with the device, it is sometimes preferable to scan to Wordpad (a Windows accessory), and then cut and paste the text into the preferred word-processing program. Change scan settings To change scan settings Windows: Open the device software, select Settings, select Scan Settings and Preferences, then select from the available options and make your selections. Cancel a scan job ▲Press Cancel on the control panel. NOTE:You can also press Cancel on the scan progress dialog box to cancel a scan. Chapter 5 40 Scan

From the control panel, you can also set a number of fax options, such as resolution and the contrast between lightness and darkness on the faxes you send. If the device is directly connected to a computer, you can use the HP photo and imaging software to perform fax procedures that are not available from the control panel. For more information about using the HP photo and imaging software, see Use the HP photo and imaging software. NOTE:Before you begin faxing, make sure you have set up the device properly for faxing.

Send a fax manually from a phone You can send a fax from a telephone on the same phone line if you prefer to use the keypad on your phone, instead of the keypad on the control panel of the device. You can do this by plugging in a phone into the 2–EXT port on the back of the device. When you send a fax manually, you can hear the dial tones, telephone prompts, or other sounds through the handset on your telephone. This makes it easy for you to use a calling card to send your fax.

If you want to continue speaking with the recipient, remain on the line until the fax transmission is complete. Send a fax using monitor dialing Monitor dialing allows you to dial a number from the control panel as you would dial a regular telephone. When you send a fax using monitor dialing, you can hear the dial tones, telephone prompts, or other sounds through the speakers on the device. This enables you to respond to prompts while dialing, as well as control the pace of your dialing. TIP:If you do not enter your calling card PIN fast enough, the device might start sending fax tones too soon and cause your PIN not to be recognized by the calling card service. If this is the case, you can create a speed dial entry to store the PIN for your calling card. NOTE:Make sure the volume is turned on, or you will not hear a dial tone. Send a fax 43
